HSS

Antonio Hi

I have three V6, three RF60 and two Neewer AD180. Using an Olympus OM D EM5 Mkii or the EM1 Mkii can I achieve HSS.

If the RF60 were each set at the same pulse level would they be in sync when fired simultaneously. 

Thanks

  • Do you have the "Cactus V6"

    Or the "Cactus V6 II"?

    If you have a Cactus V6 II then yes, if the RF60 is running on the latest firmware and is set to the same channel as the V6 II.

    Thanks!

    TTL or HSS not working on Cactus V6 II and V6 IIs? Be sure to check hot shoe connectivity by doing the <CAMERA INFO> check.

    You can achieve HSS with the V6 as well by using workaround techniques.

    One workaround is to use an HSS-capable flash on the camera and use it for optically triggering the V6.

    The other workaround is to use the "starter pistol method".

    Both approaches are far, far less convenient than using a V6II but I've used them before the V6II became available.


  • V6 only.
    Then you should seriously consider getting the V6 II.
    As Class A points out above there are workarounds but not as convenient.

    The AD180 does not offer HSS, does it? Then connecting a V6 or V6 II to it won't give you HSS.
